Multivariate sex limitation twin model
Description
Multivariate twin analysis allowing for sex limitation (factors operate differently in males
vs. females) based on a correlated factors model. With 5-groups of twins, this model allows
for both Quantitative and Qualitative Sex-Limitation.
Quantitative differences refer to different amounts of phenotypic variance produced by
the same A, C, or E components when operating in one sex compared to the other sex.
Qualitative differences refer to phenotypic variance attributable to an A, C, or E
component which operates in one sex one but not in the other.
The correlation approach ensures that variable order does not affect the ability
of the model to account for DZOS data.
1. Nonscalar Sex Limitation
Allow quantitative (distinct male and female paths) and qualitative sex differences
on A or C. Allows distinct between variable correlations (Ra, Rc and Re)
for males and for females. Male-Female correlations also free (Rao or Rco free in DZO group).
2. Scalar Sex Limitation
Quantitative sex differences only (distinct Male and female paths).
Just one set of Ra, Rc and Re between variables (same for males and females)
3. Homogeneity
This is the model assumed by the basic ACE model: equal variance components in both sexes.
Different means may be allowed for males and females.
Usage
umxSexLim(
name = "sexlim",
selDVs,
mzmData,
dzmData,
mzfData,
dzfData,
dzoData,
sep = NA,
A_or_C = c("A", "C"),
sexlim = c("Nonscalar", "Scalar", "Homogeneity"),
dzAr = 0.5,
dzCr = 1,
autoRun = getOption("umx_auto_run"),
tryHard = c("no", "yes", "ordinal", "search"),
optimizer = NULL
)
Arguments
name
The name of the model (Default = "sexlim")
selDVs
BASE NAMES of the variables in the analysis. You MUST provide sep.
mzmData
Dataframe containing the MZ male data.
dzmData
Dataframe containing the DZ male data.
mzfData
Dataframe containing the MZ female data.
dzfData
Dataframe containing the DZ female data.
dzoData
Dataframe containing the DZ opposite-sex data (be sure and get in right order).
sep
Suffix used for twin variable naming. Allows using just the base names in selVars.
A_or_C
Whether to model sex-limitation on A or on C. (Defaults to "A").
sexlim
Which model type: "Nonscalar" (default), "Scalar", or "Homogeneity".
dzAr
The DZ genetic correlation (defaults to .5, vary to examine assortative mating).
dzCr
The DZ "C" correlation (defaults to 1: set to .25 to make an ADE model).
autoRun
Whether to mxRun the model (default TRUE: the estimated model will be returned).
tryHard
Default ('no') uses normal mxRun. "yes" uses mxTryHard. Other options: "ordinal", "search"
optimizer
optionally set the optimizer. Default (NULL) does nothing.
Details
A or C
Due to limitations on the degrees of freedom allowed by the twin model, we can model
qualitative sex differences for only one of A or C at a time.
notes: There is a half-way house model of heterogeneity in which a, c, and e components are scaled by a
scalar constant in one sex.
General restrictions: Assumes means and variances can be equated across birth order within zygosity groups.
